Franklin Art Association meeting & Guest Demo by Chris West - location changed to Historical Museum

The Franklin Art Association invites the public to our Wednesday, March 5th meeting. We will greet Guest Demo-Artist, Christine West, our collage painter for this month’s public demonstration. She will be giving a talk about her work and a step by step demonstration of her collage production technique. She creates monotypes and mixed-media collages using acrylic mediums, inks, photography and various papers. Her work has been inspired by modern architecture, the textures of nature, mid-century style and science-fiction. She’s particularly moved by Abstract Expressionism and collages of the mid-century type. 

Guest Demo-Artist, Christine West

In 2015, she enrolled in classes at the Holliston Mills where she focused on painting city and abstract landscapes. Under the present day instruction of Paula DeSimone, she’s undertaken various medium painting, printing and drawing. She continues currently following DeSimone’s tutelage at the Danforth Art Museum. Her work can be seen at True Grit Gallery in Middleboro, MA. And she has exhibited in ‘Member shows” at Attleboro Arts Museum, Hopkington Art Center and the Morini Gallery. 

The free-to-the-public-meetings are held at the Franklin Historical Museum* at 6:30 PM. FAA welcomes the public to attend. Refreshments are served at the break. We have an on-going FAA Scholarship Fund to which attendees are invited to contribute. 

The FAA is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the Franklin Cultural Council, Franklin Cultural District and www.franklinart.org. And we can be viewed on Facebook and Instagram.
